holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause report on r.g.p. . the critical new period situation in japan goes from the cloud i'm told worse as a sudden that spike in radiation levels me start out with the trauma of the stress and picking up. some of the japanese government insists there is no immediate danger questionable track record of telling the truth about possible your problems means that not everyone is convinced. and japanese rebalance it sharply after two days of consecutive losses the nikkei finished up my point seven percent will have all of the global markets are reacting to the japanese rally that's in ten minutes time in business. government forces in libya are we taking even more lands on the

rebels while most countries in the international community are against imposing the no fly zone the united nations is six discuss its. own well this is r.t. live from moscow and alice have it our top story of course japan may be losing control i think our plans are rising radiation levels made it tends to stabilize the situation had to be halted the government's top spokesman said one of the reactors key containment vessels and spheres have broken and radioactive material talent bennett who's in the region says many people are trying to flee from areas facing immediate danger. there's a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety and fear and it's a different kind of fear now because when

a tsunami the earthquake they could see and hear the threats this the radiation they can't see or smell it it's an invisible enemy so now it's a different kind of threat just this morning i've spoken to a young japanese couple with just a ten day old newly born. and they are actually from sendai i know it in sendai when the earthquake struck they have been able to move until now this is another was two weeks and now they head into tokyo as fast as they can and this is just another. more evidence of people who don't trust the government don't trust the ice that the radiation isn't spreading into a greater area outside. this queue of people is a kilometer long they're trying to stockpile what food is left in sendai most shelves are empty now. the people here are getting ready to hide fearing an invisible killer radiation explosions at the fukushima daiichi power plant to put the country on the cusp of nuclear meltdown one damaged reactors out a casing and

a final two reactors have now lost cooling capability to radiation levels peak near the plant at four hundred times the amounts normally absorbed in a year if he is it'll spread across the country while residents prepared to go to ground for news crews are fleeing this team from the zealand is heading for new gun airport flights from there to sucker in tokyo are already fully booked for the next two days the exodus has begun here on the west coast. people are already turning up on the next available flight out of the country desperation to escape. we have to wait until morning to get the next one to her bar of what we have to wait outside but we will because we want to escape the radiation some though have nowhere to run to this was once a village those who lived here are returning to find there's simply nothing left the devastation just goes on and on. more than half

a million people have been left homeless their belongings swallowed up and spat out by the tsunami relief workers are searching for survivors all along japan's ravaged coast what's now is see if they agree fifteen thousand have already been rescued but over seven thousand the still missing and some parts haven't even been reached yet over two and a half thousand relief centers are still packed and will be for several weeks it's cold and uncomfortable but this is one of the few places these people can get food and shelter huge parts of the country have been completely wiped out at the threat of nuclear meltdown means they could still be more to come. advantage are we got. well if your in the affected areas you can only share your experiences when i log on to our facebook account just enter the news as a one word well our page also have the latest videos analysis and news on the situation in japan as well as all of our other top stories so if you know something

that you think the rest of the world should hear about these log on to r.t. news on facebook. well meanwhile rescue operations in the country continue following the quake and tsunami the japanese prime minister has said twenty six thousand people have been rescued so all the official death toll now as a party seven thousand but all fourteen of them i don't think you're. going to take you. about the latest developments i prefer you can apply. this morning fire broke out at the fourth reactor at that. extinguished seemingly on its own about half an hour later however i believe hundred workers which is where we have our original reactor fifty remains and they were pulled out later or earlier today because of the radiation levels which again were too high we

do know that radiation levels are in the all across the country in fact. it's just a little over a hundred miles north of tokyo radiation levels exceed three hundred times their normal amount we also know that radiation levels in tokyo measured by those who are arriving at the airport just this morning they were about eleven times thinking of the amount that is considered to be a normal or safe i wouldn't say that people are running around screaming in horror at the moment but you have to notice that certain. eerie quiet in the air there is not that many people out on the streets those who are in the street are wearing masks and they have their hair covered which is of some of the elementary questions which are said to be somewhat helpful in the case. in the case of radiation exposure some food has been writes off the shelves if you go to any could mean in store you will see that most of them are essentially mostly empty people are being

told by the government that the current radiation levels are either acceptable or ate the inflows and. however the evidence shows as history shows the japanese government has exactly proven to be always always always trustworthy and everything that it does work and forth to the public should actually be checked here's a report in that. with reactors at the fukushima nuclear power plant having gone up in smoke fears about a possible meltdown a little large japanese authorities give assurances there is no imminent threat to tokyo residents but past evidence suggests they are not to be trusted completely over many years the nuclear industry and the regulators in japan but also in every society every country the outreach nuclear power you find consistently that there's a lack of transparency a lack of will. maybe they just think i think we can but that's too much

information why should we provide the information in fact just five years ago the plant operator tokyo electric power company or tepco it's needed to falsifying temperature readings for cooling materials advocacy much as early as in one nine hundred eighty five and with the country now facing a major disaster the government will be careful in choosing its words. i don't know what is going to happen if the judge is going as not only accountable of course. but also the accountable to other countries and other nations that much slots in two thousand to the government disclose that at least twenty nine cases of damage to the reactor had been swept under the carpet that incident played taps because presidents and some senior officials to quit in scandal in two thousand and three seventeen tepco operated plants ordered to be shut down again because the operator

lied about what was happening at these sites so the japanese officials put on a somber face but give assurances everything's fine not everyone's convinced particularly when the country's already got enough other problems to deal with if you don't have the emergency resources if your infrastructure has been destroyed and the further you go away from the reactor the more difficult the more diverse the population settlements are the more difficult it is to evacuate you don't want to panic or probably to get them to a sofa of actuate i may be on within we put themselves in harm's way but when thousands of lives are on the line such a policy can easily be counterproductive there is a growing distrust among people in japan that the information we're receiving is not informing us to the extent that we would like it to and it has reduced it just makes people all the more uncertain and. can't trust the information they're being

given as it stands apparent appears to be balancing on the brink of a nuclear meltdown and though the official version of the vents implore is everyone to stay calm history shows not all of their words could be taken at face value in tokyo it goes cold. and keeper art to date with the very latest breaking news all of the vision of a power plant out artie's twitter page find out what's happening in the capital tokyo when the gas a little more than the one hundred kilometers from the nuclear power plant also villages news of the devastation in the country under most interesting links all that our twitter account r.t. underscore. all nuclear power exploit it green be easy and have a camp says even when workers can't get access to the control rooms plant the tiles they face coupled with the conditions they have to do it in predicting their success is impossible. the situation at this moment remains critical if you remain

critical several days there's only fifty people allowed in the plans of the moms and they're working fifteen minutes shifts which is vince's very little and they have to work very many things by hand because remote control installations have gone down the main operator room is usable because of radiation levels they're working under extremely difficult circumstances to try to prevent the worst from the worst which would which would indeed be the core that is completely dry and that would would lead to a meltdown it is very early now to predict what would happen because it would depend on how much of the material would get out it would be penciled what the sea streams would be what the winds would be what is certain is that the spread of this material in the air would not go as far as that we've seen with chernobyl the reason for that is that it will be boosted its high in the air because there's no graphite in it like like any in the chernobyl reactor and that means that most of the full nearer to the nuclear power station there it would create larger havoc

that we've seen it in the case of. the kind of laser we sit down with raul thousand and eighteen and if they see it that low it's happened how as he says is alexander payne in all the situation in japan. the problem is that they may have water levels rising and falling they may have fuel exploding we know that they have had fuel exposed which has produced the reaction the reaction between the more. and the water that produces the hydrogen so they've certainly had some fuel their image they may well have fuel ceramic fuel pellets that are now also circulating through the core and that will be clogging up channels and generally generally changing the configuration of geometry in the core and unless the reactor in unless the reactor engineers know what is going on they're liable to do something wrong.

crossing to libya now where colonel gadhafi forces of gained more ground retaking rebel held city major world powers of safe all dismissed imposing a fly zone over the conflicts between country and its use still to be discussed the u.n. is in the capital tripoli. gadhafi forces have broken through the last major line of resistance before the town of bin ghazi which is the heart of the rebel stronghold on tuesday in a massive land and air assault duffy's forces took over the town of edge to be which is just some one hundred fifty kilometers away from benghazi what this means is that the gulf his forces are now in full control of the coastal strip a tree in these two towns we need to remember that it was only ten days ago that were able forces had control of almost half of this country they were in control in the east and they also had control of several cities in the raised and now his forces have managed to reclaim most of their land basically if we came all the

cities in the waste exit from misrata in the closing statement of the g. eight ministers meeting in paris on tuesday there was no mention of the no fly zone britain and france remain at the forefront of calling for to be implemented over libya while there are several countries including the united states germany russia and china which has veto power at the u.n. security council there are opposed to it now the representatives from france and britain and lebanon living on acting on behalf of the arab league met on saturday in cairo they have called an endorser a no fly zone those representatives have drafted and united nations resolution calling for to be incremented that discussion was held behind closed doors on tuesday speaking after their u.n. security council meeting the british ship presented to see that they had been a lot of discussion and he did admit that they were divisions he said that a lot of questions were still being asked questions such as how would it be implemented and would be participating in it that discussion will continue today

wednesday nice intially the draft resolution is looking for a ban on all flights over libyan airspace excluding humanitarian aid missions it also calls for restricting implementation of the arms embargoes adopted in resolution one nine two weeks ago at the same time it also calls for the present prevention of foreign. he's been able to came to libya the whole goal of this draft resolution so no five so he's trying to take the lives of civilians but many people here feel that if indeed it is approved it will be too little too late and also it will open the door possibly for an excuse or an intervention. of france in this case in officially supporting the libyan opposition priced in and parents in positions as he's a visiting professor of international relations at building and universe. and can look at. you how. it could be

a great promise and britain are the. great issues that are to come here and look forward to a very very special mission oh no problem we were trying to be a little wiser there's a we're going to. do we're going to be do we want to and maybe we can all agree international community. i want to go. let's face it it would be our. new government that's a very or gratian approach and so we have the same. meanwhile armrests is continuing elsewhere in the arab world in bahrain where the king has declared a three month state of emergency right i mean you just saw some government protesters hospitals have been overwhelmed i think number of injured throughout.

the coming hour they say in our program crosstalk program debates whether the arab countries currently protesting against the regime so really i think one. when there were elections you know for the people you know in the palestinian territories hamas and islam is still classified as a terrorist organization one so this is i'm not trying to say that people should not have the royce be heard but i think it's important to keep in mind that these words which have a connotation to western years do not necessarily mean the same thing they're sure that people want power i mean what is really i mean it's why and that's when i. got started let me jump in this is crosstalk about why this is i disagree with if i must wins it has been given the chance to do it i mean this not just because it's an islamist in fact it's an edgier the biggest mistake was in ninety nine to one when this in this one and there was a military intervention that drove the country into a cycle of violence and there is this is same in palestine i must warn and the word

should have accepted that instead they were didn't accept it. and. if you want. to sound has been a warm welcome home for three intrepid explorers you completed their five months space mission their stories space cross exactly landed the snowy step of fan bringing its crew to russian cardinals kaleri and other. as well as nasa is scott kelly has returned from the international space station landing place monitored by search and rescue services and was the first of a new generation stories craft quipped with a digital navigation system the crew departed the i f s t behind the reality is it would you to return to in about three months time. and the names are on what

how the sions of sports. culture has. risen promotion is racism sexism and homophobia. sports is political in ways we don't often even notice especially on the level of culture where our ideas and attitudes as a society are shaped. these are the ties between professional football in the u.s. military have existed since the start of the n.f.l. back in nineteen twenty that relationship laments least during world war two and today that bond is stronger than ever. in terms of a secure old feel good old feel very soon can you feel when you look at the history has taught us that sports is never just something that we just sit back. and sports always had an important social function and the history of american sports is no

different. well that's coming up after a quick recap our top story the hoff policy now more of course variable on a website called medicine you like to stay with us the go to business updates with you they often write. russia would be so much brighter if you knew about some from fines to the pressure it's. nice for instance on t.v. dot com. first create a removal call get a clear cut. second exclusives are used to blast to get bigger than the.

heard the remainder review banditry very. final on what it sure is because the judges invariably feel. relieved on a. hollow and a very warm welcome time for the business update and japanese stocks rebounded sharply on wednesday after two days of heavy losses we'll have more on that in just a moment however on this such as all the japanese economy continue to suffer in the aftermath of the disaster and consumers in japan are emptying store shelves and feel the lack of distribution of food water and other goods many companies still have production suspended the power supply remains critical in the country meanwhile worldwide manufacturing chains are suffering from shortages of supplies from japan one of japan's main carmakers toyota says its overall production loss

may reach forty thousand cars but at the cut production plants were not heeded by the quake which has announced plans to restart seven of its factories on thursday and after initial worries analysts say the global car industry will want to stop the minus supply disruptions. i don't. negative impact on the overall in this three. globally speaking there are a number of. other utilized capacities elsewhere and even within japan so yes there is a common thread disruption for a few days however i don't think that this would be to have a big impact. and japanese companies which closed factories have to scrap to connect to production chains of high tech products world white hole without losing their jason and partners consulting believes retail prices such goods will

not rise significantly. japan is the main producer of dynamic and flash memory chips which are commonly used in mobile phones computers and laptops. in production of these chips may lead to a deficit of certain height it goods and speculative price growth even in the worst scenario the retail price growth. for all opinions that the japanese economy is strong enough to sustain quakes side effects one of russia's leading economists. could you ben's that is already in trouble but generally if you if you if you look at the car and the gun go on so if you look at they're sort of position in general germany's economy is pretty healthy and what we're talking about is no recourse to their construction which really is in basic terms it's a fiscal course it's not a matter of law the caller called in immelt and on the wall of the financial system

melting down. a bit in a good supply sure i think one could compare it to the brought in the summer of two thousand and ten in russia i think we should be reasonably sure the japan use economy as a whole in the year will remain. let's see how the asian markets were performing on wednesday japanese shares have rebounded sharply after two consecutive days of decry and with the nikkei index finishing five point seven percent in the black the bank of japan helped instill confidence by pumping another forty three billion dollars into the financial markets it's the third cash injection in three days by japan's central bank and in total it has allocated two hundred eighty four billion dollars to the crisis hong kong saying saying is the term with percent are bouncing back a bit as concerns that china may suffer from japanese economic downturn are easing in late wednesday's train. and european shares were trying to recoup losses and

early trade after a much needed recovery for japanese stocks help to calm the nerves of investors worldwide but this old group c. has slipped into negative territory and is trading down twenty five percent whereas the texas narrowing its case since warning parts still into black point three percent. and here in russia investors seem to be my six something posting gains tracking asian games high on cheap allegations in japan and hopes the economy will link to normality. let's have a look at some of the individual share moves most banking shares up posting gains per pound is up one point six percent but energy shares often mean winners this hour despite oil prices remaining tile or sad news from japan is pushing world markets lower this situation and grain is supporting high oil prices but i'm going the certainty of the world crude oil supplies out of the region cross nafta's

rising water percent oil is not far behind and eight percent higher purpose with the world save explains why the current world situation is favoring russia. in many ways this combination of the threat of disruption in the middle east providing support to the oil price while at the same time the risk of slower economic growth and of course disruption in japan. causing either concern about demand that combination which is likely to keep the price of oil around the current like in the current window is near ideal for russia because if you had a situation where the threat level of the structure were to rise too much on checked when the price of oil were to go to one twenty one thirty one forty that actually would be bad for russia but short term we get more money flows but if you would have a negative impact on the reform process on the motivation from government to drive

reforms and everybody would worry about another two thousand and eight effect in other words rising prices leading for a sudden collapse so that would be on the other hand if you know if we didn't have that ongoing threat level and we have these concerns over demand and economic growth we could easily see the price of oil going back to eighty dollars which would put the put the budget in a suitable deficit. chris with their well despite the fact that oil prices have been particularly volatile jewelry the recent years russia's finance minister says well prices may surge to two hundred dollars per barrel in the near future against the backdrop of the political turmoil in the middle east and crisis in japan could ring noted that spoken lation and volatility could also push the price that far although in the medium term there would be no sustainability for such higher prices .
